Chapter 137 Disarmament Sequelae

"So, Mr. McCormick wants to reach a cooperation with me?" After listening to Aiken's remarks, Li Zitao thought seriously.

"Yes, we have a lot of resources in our hands. Now we only need to get the right to issue bonds. We can make a lot of profits together. Charlie, think about it."

Aiken didn't want to hear the answer of refusal. This matter was taken over by him. If it was messed up, it would have some impact on his reputation in the consortium.

This kind of influence seems to be innocuous, but in some critical moments, it will become a deadly sharp knife.

"...I am in favor of this kind of cooperation. How about handing over the specific affairs to the people below?" After thinking about it, Li Zitao felt that cooperation was the best choice.

He holds the right to issue bonds, and the Chicago consortium can find a lot of business. Everyone sits together to share money, and cooperation is a win-win choice.

"Charlie, I like you more and more..." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Aiken laughed heartily and sighed at the same time.

Li Zitao's success is not accidental. This seemingly immature young man who is out of tune with this country can always recognize the facts and make the right choices.

This cooperation is enough to get him the kindness of the McCormick family, which is definitely beyond the value of money for him.

After sending Aiken out, Li Zitao sat quietly on the sofa, meditating in silence.

With the improvement of his status and the development of the industry, he prefers this kind of quiet time alone more and more, which can keep his brain calm, keep thinking and make correct judgments.

The boring reception is finally over. In this kind of education-related occasion, there is no one who can provide him with alluring looks. It's boring, it's too boring.

"Dewey, you still need to pay more attention to the school's curriculum." Before parting, Li Zitao and Dewey had another brief exchange.

After getting Dewey's affirmative answer and assurance, he left with peace of mind.

It's useless for a scumbag like him to stay, so let's get out and make money!

"Let Ben go." Back in the office, Li Zitao took off his suit and vest, and threw it on the sofa.

Keng Keng!

"Ben, come and have a seat." Sitting on the sofa, Li Zitao unbuttoned his neckline and said in a relaxed manner, "Have someone renovate A.O Smith's factory as soon as possible,

The future pioneer technology research and development experiment center is located in Milwaukee. "

"Boss, leave it here alone?" Ben was a little surprised.

In the future, the center of gravity of the industry will shift to California. This is a confirmed thing. The investment and construction of the experimental center is no joke.

Not to mention manpower and material resources, but the huge amount of resources invested in it, he would not be ignorant of how much loss would be caused if they moved away.

Since Li Zitao decided to rebuild A.O. Smith, it means that after reconsidering, he decided to keep the Pioneer Experimental Center here.

"Yes, the current industrial base in Los Angeles is not enough to support our development, it is better to stay here." Li Zitao confirmed his guess.

"Understood." Now that the BOSS has made a decision, it's fine for Ben and Think Tank to implement it resolutely.

As a qualified subordinate, Ben is very clear about the position he should have.

"What happened to Kingdom Paradise?" Li Zitao was concerned about them all the time.

"It will be completed before the end of the month, and the interior is currently being decorated." The time has just entered June, and it will take two and a half months until the end of the month, which is considered fast.

"What about McDonald's and Subway?"

"It went well. Lawrence's team adapted quickly." When mentioning this matter, Ben's face showed a bit of relief and complacency.

According to information collected by think tanks, major families and companies, including the financial industry, are learning their management methods and establishing their own think tanks.

It's just a lack of detailed data and patterns, and things aren't going very well.

It is enough for big companies and giants to follow suit, and this achievement is enough to make Ben proud.

"On the side of the Golden Arches, the think tank still needs to pay more attention. After all, Lawrence is inexperienced, and there is also a shipyard, so the finance staff will be stationed there."

After ordering what should be explained,

Li Zitao let him go on with his work and asked Little Elk to connect to the Los Angeles branch.

"Hans, how about that group of people?" Dwight this time was not small, sending him 2,000 veterans at a time.

It's not all about the military's eyeliner. According to the news heard by his congressman friends, the military is currently under a lot of pressure.

Not only is Congress spending cuts, but the aftermath of the previous disarmament has also begun to stand out.

Those returning veterans, just getting used to a stable life, began to plan to build houses, make children, make children, make children...

Then, there is no more...

A financial crisis sweeping the world made the United States the hardest hit area of ​​the Great Depression. The house was gone, and a litter of bear children could hardly be raised.

What to do, of course, is to find the military department.

You said that the rehabilitated and arranged work, now I am unemployed, you have to give an explanation.

What, work arrangements have been made?

They are all unemployed, and the factories are all bankrupt. Can it be counted?

It has only been 10 years since the end of World War I, and those immature teenagers who were lucky to come back from the battlefield are gradually becoming adults.

They do not have a high degree of education, and they went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they did not have the opportunity to learn a craft.

After World War I, relying on the resettlement plan of the military department, he could have a stable income.

But now all of this has been ruined, and they have lost their financial resources with their families and children. The sense of urgency and self-blame can be imagined.

In addition, after World War I, the United States began to ignore the role of the army, thinking that relying on a large and advanced navy can maintain the country's current status.

As a result, the number of the army has been decreasing year by year, and it is constantly in a state of disarmament. At present, the total number of the army in the United States does not exceed 80,000.

If the proposal to reduce military resources is passed, this number will continue to decrease.

Therefore, the army has always been suffocating grievances. Why can the navy and air force maintain their establishment, improve their salaries, enjoy the sea breeze with their salaries, and go for a drive in the sky to perform stunts.

We have to accept the fate of disarmament and go home to work and farm.

At this time, the treatment of the army is still very good, at least better than most factories, plus the stability in peacetime.

Given the choice, veterans would absolutely love to continue serving.

The accumulated grievances and unfair treatment have become more and more serious under the aggravation of job loss, unemployment and no income.

Veterans in some cities spontaneously organized and held parades in the cities, and even planned to go to Washington DC for large-scale parades and sit-ins.

This kind of thing made Washington very angry. When the president called the chief of staff of the army, he snarled: "If you can do it, you can't do it, get out."

So the chief of staff obediently left, he really couldn't do it.

Now there is a heated debate in Washington about the candidate for the new chief of staff, but these matters have nothing to do with Li Zitao.

He just needs to know that under such a big environment, most of the veterans sent this time are veterans resettled by the Ministry of the Army.

If these veterans are not appeased, both the military and Washington are afraid of possible violent fights and protests.

The series of problems caused by this are not just the Ministry of War.
